OLD BUSINESS
Kay Jones and Tom Hughes reported on the Regional Tournament. It was a tremendous success. The number of people that attended set new records. Unfortunately, the Unit ran out of registration gifts, $2.00 bills, and late night snacks. The board approved paying $200.00 each to Tom Hughes, Max Jackson, and Jason Jones for setting up, taking down and transporting the tables. The board approved paying for hotel lodging for Kay Jones.
The caddies need to be trained to separate bidding boxes by owner at the end of the tournament. The board approved, upon Carolyn Pinto’s request, that six caddies each receive an additional $20.00.
Kay also made the following recommendations for future tournaments: Do not offer players more than one choice of drinks with meals. Either offer water or pop rather than both because players will take one of each which drives up the cost. Designate one place for the entire tournament for hand records and for daily bulletins. Recruit more volunteers to help throughout the tournament.
Steve Shirey reported that at least twenty-five participants will attend each seminar led by Mike Lawrence.
Tom Hughes reported that the following are candidates for the upcoming board election:
Mike Goldman, Elizabeth Hudson, Janet Jordan, Katye Kowierschke, Keith McCall, Nora Oliver, Bill Walker, Diane Washabaugh, and Millie Williams. Tom stated that he is in the process of preparing the bios and ballot. The board will help him get the ballots ready for mailing.
